I imply, it’s the starting of spring subsequent week, proper? Though, I’m conscious that in Boston which means nothing. We’ve been recognized to see snow in April.

This stew was so satisfying although. Steve really ate it for lunch AND dinner, that’s how a lot he loved it. I’ve a factor about consuming the identical factor twice in in the future (I get bored and I like selection) in any other case I most likely would have too. This stew is tremendous straightforward to make within the Instantaneous Pot, though you can simply convert it to a sluggish cooker recipe, simply brown the meat and mushrooms individually earlier than including it to the sluggish cooker. 

I LOVE all the taste on this stew – not solely from the Guinness, however the fragrant veggies, Dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, bay leaves and thyme. It’s like all of the savory flavors mixed into one stew. MMMMMM. Serve this with some soda bread or I might additionally see this being actually scrumptious served on high of mashed potatoes. Yessssss. Or, when you wanna be actual Irish, serve it on high of my vegan cauliflower colcannon.
